Error message says "Arc move in concave corner cannot be reached by the tool 
without gouging"

Move is in fact valid (lead in move is greater than the cutter radius, entry 
and exit moves adhere to crc rules).  The error message occurs a couple times 
in the code, but some digging isolates this particular instance in 
convert_arc_comp2 defined in interp_convert.cc:

 if TOOL_INSIDE_ARC(side, turn) {
                // tool is inside the arc
                dist_from_center = arc_radius - tool_radius;
                toward_nominal = cy + tool_radius;
                double l = toward_nominal / dist_from_center;
                CHKS((l > 1.0 || l < -1.0), _("Arc move in concave corner 
cannot be reached by the tool without gouging"));
 
cy is not current_y as it is elsewhere in the code:
cy = arc_radius * sin(beta - M_PI_2l);


Reading the code didn't get me very far - there's not much of a hint of the 
original intent of the calculation of beta, why cy differs here in the code 
than in other places or the rational behind the ratio check (-1 < l < 1).  I'm 
hoping that the developer who wrote convert_arc_comp2 is listening to this list 
and can cast some light on these calculations.

Thanks!
